Evidently Arvind Krishna thinks the IT Services Division (or whatever it is) is worthless, as he didn't attempt to sell it, he's just throwing it out. Apparently, whatever profits it contributes aren't worth the distraction to his "maniacal" focus on "hybrid cloud". As the divestment (calling it a "split" is fine as long as you realize that likely NO one in GTS wants to "split") is going to take a year, and an estimated $1billion in transaction costs, I say he'd better be right if he likes his job.
Personally, I don't see how it benefits anyone at all. sas On Sat, Oct 10, 2020 at 10:09 AM Phil Smith III <li...@akphs.com> wrote: > Wayne Bickerdike wrote: > > >Perhaps IBM are prepping to sell off Global Services. > > > > Isn't that what this is?
